Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 49,357,735, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 49,357,735 | |
| -1 | -49,357,735 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 49,357,735.
Example:
1 x 49,357,735 = 49,357,735
and
-1 x -49,357,735 = 49,357,735
Notice both answers equal 49,357,735
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 49,357,735 and divide it by 2:
49,357,735 ÷ 2 = 24,678,867.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 24,678,867.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 49,357,735 | |
| -1 | -49,357,735 |
Now, we try dividing 49,357,735 by 3:
49,357,735 ÷ 3 = 16,452,578.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 16,452,578.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 49,357,735 | |
| -1 | -49,357,735 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
49,357,735 ÷ 4 = 12,339,433.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 12,339,433.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 49,357,735 | |
| -1 | 49,357,735 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 5 | 7 | 31 | 35 | 155 | 217 | 1,085 | 45,491 | 227,455 | 318,437 | 1,410,221 | 1,592,185 | 7,051,105 | 9,871,547 | 49,357,735 |
| -1 | -5 | -7 | -31 | -35 | -155 | -217 | -1,085 | -45,491 | -227,455 | -318,437 | -1,410,221 | -1,592,185 | -7,051,105 | -9,871,547 | -49,357,735 |
